After the girls' cup stacking competition in Portland, we took a little time to celebrate the end of chemo. I was very tired, and it wasn't an easy day physically, but we enjoyed having tea together as a family at the Heathman Hotel in downtown Portland. During...

Tom had to go to Fort Collins, CO for work, so Sarah Burns, one of my sweet friends from college, came up to help out and visit for 4 days!  It was so much fun to see her and catch up with her.  It seems like I just saw her yesterday, even though it has been a few...
